Former President Jimmy Carter Dies at 100

Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away at the age of 100, having left a significant legacy as a global mediator and advocate for human rights. Serving from 1977 to 1981, Carter faced challenges that led to perceptions of him as weak, but his post-presidential work, particularly through The Carter Center, reshaped his image. Notably, he brokered the historic Camp David Accords in 1978, achieving peace between Israel and Egypt, a feat that had eluded many predecessors. Despite setbacks in his presidency, including a divided approach to foreign policy and domestic issues, his commitment to humanitarian efforts and social justice endured. Carter's humble beginnings and faith influenced his presidency and lifelong dedication to service. His death marks the end of a significant chapter in American political history, as he was the oldest living former president and a respected elder statesman.
